How do y’all feel about your PP bodies? I’m 1month and struggling :/ I didn’t gain a lot of weight when i was pregnant so my belly went down quite a bit but recently i’ve been feeling insecure about the line and my stretch marks. i’ve been using all these products but haven’t seen a difference. i think stretch marks are unique and beautiful i just havnt yet accepted them on my body. I am still though so amazed on what we as moms can do

The line will disappear on its own and your stretch marks will fade too

It takes time the line will go the stretch marks will fade but the tummy will need exercises to get flat again but I wouldn’t do these just yet your body is still recovering inside you grew a baby enjoy them while they are small it goes far too quickly

Yeah I’m struggling with stretch marks too, I have like a million 😫

You look amazing. Don’t ever think otherwise.

I would swap with you so quickly 😅 my belly looks yucky

I rather have the line then all the stretch marks 😔 I stayed using shea butter and coco on my stomach my whole pregnancy and still got them.

I feel the same way . My stomach went down pretty quick (thanks breastfeeding) but im still getting use to the stretch marks . Ive used oils on my stomach throughout my pregnancy so I don’t have them there , but I guess I didn’t think about my hips 😂 so that’s where all mine mostly are 😅.

I’ve still got the line! I’m 11 weeks PP now… I hated it at first but now I’ve grown to love it. If it’s a permanent fixture then so be it - it’s a marker of the beautiful boy who came into this world! ❤️

It all takes time to get back to that pre baby body I'm 3.5 months postpartum and have noticed the line is finally getting lighter and stretch marks are less visible too

Your body looks better than my pre-baby body 🙈 you’re stretch marks are actually a really nice color and barely noticeable!

Wow you look amazing!

You look great! I'm 3 months post and look worse talking dark purple strexh marks everywhere even in my armpits! I also gained almost 70 lbs. You'll learn to love your new body, you got this mama.

My line has just gone and I'm almost 8 months pp. The stretch marks take longer. Don't stress it all takes time.

For those saying stuff about stretch marks I heard people calling them their baby’s first drawing if that helps out anyone🥺

My line didn’t show at all until after birth and was quite prominent until about 4 months PP 😕

Its different for everyone but definitely takes time. I gained 60 during my pregnancy and I’m almost 6 months PP and just last week i made it back to my weight before being pregnant

My son is 4 months. I am down 2clothing sizes from pre pregnancy and these clothes are getting loose and I felt more confident when I was bigger. I feel flabby and saggy. I look tired all the time so it looks even worse with the thinner face.

You look amazing!!! … you have such a beautiful baby to show for that body and the amazing work it did for 9 months and beyond. Xx

1 month is not nearly long enough to heal. The line will fade and some of the stretch marks might as well but it takes months. It took you 9 months to make that baby, it will take you at least that long to heal.
